Rev. johnson informs US that the
success of the Camp Meeting is now
assured beyond question. Twenty-Five
tents have been ordered, and it is prob
able that this number will be increased.
while there will be large number of
people inattendance who will bring
their own tents or covered wagons.
Mr.. Johnson has written to every
Methodist minister i'm this district and
and to as many more outside, extend.
ing them cordial invitation to take
part in the meeting, and large num-
Der of them have signified their inter-
ton to be present. The last day-Sep-
TENDER S-has been set apart as G. A.
r. day, and Rev. ALLEN Buckner has
promised to come and run things'' in
his usual lively fashion. The Presid.
ing Elder writes that he has given
notice of the meeting in all the churches
and thinks many will be here from
distance. So that, all things taken
together, the outlook is very bright.
The meeting may not rival the Ottawa
Assembly, but it will pave the way to
a larger one next year, and q still
larger one the year after and so on
indefinitely.
Come to lola during the campmeet-
| ing. Bring tent, or order one, and
camp aud "rest in the shade of the
trees" Drink lola mineral water:
visit our Carriage Works occasionally;
stroll through our pleasant streets; 20
boating on the NeoshO; listen to the
sermons and the lectures and the mu-
sic; go to bed early and get up early;
forget for a week that there is such
thing as farm or work shop. Do
these things and see whether you are
not as happy over it as if you had
spent a week and hundred dollars at
some fashionable watering place.
The bitter opposition Of the demo-
cratic organs to what they call the
new-fangled scheme" of republican
primary elections, is..not hard to fathom.
They know that ticket nominated by
a direct vote of the republicans of the
county is mighty near certain to com.
mand united republican support. And
they know that with the republican
party united and harmonious, their
own party hasn't ghost of a show
No wonder they are distressed about
that "call,' and the whole "new.fan.
gled scheme"
Judge Stillwell tells a story about
man he knew in Illinois who raised
a large family of boys and acquired an
independent fortune by minding his
own business. The example set by
this man might be pondered with
advantage by our democratic cotem-
poraries.
The mugwumps are surprised and
grieved to learn that Cleveland has
SO far yielded to the demands of his
party rs to have made practically q
clean sweep in the offices. These dis
tinguished gentlemen would probably
he surprised to learn that the dog
wags the tail.
Editor IngersOll was in from Moran |
Monday and informs US that the ar
rival of the Kansas City aud Pacific
railroad will be celebrated by grand
excursion to Parsons. We shall
endeavor to accept the invitation he
kindly extended us to be one of the
party.

Allen County Democrat leaves A.

publicans believe that they are grossly |
outraged by what they themselves
have done, are worthy OF TEXAS SJt-

The Eastern Star picnic in Freeman's
Grove on the 3lst promises to be great
success. Excursion trains will be run |
from Fredonia and Ottawa, bringing !
the Lodges from those and intermedi-
ate stations. A full program of the
exercises will be published next week.
AS the democratic primaries are to
republican, it has been suggested that
should alter the call so as to invite the
of all who did not vote at
the democratic primaries. Consent.
The REGISTER Office is indebted to
Mrs. s. A. Briggs for q basket of the
lucious grapes which her vineyard al
ways produces, whether the season be
wet or dry. The punches are large
and full and do not seem to have been
affected in the least by the drouth.
